Grammar Notes:

A. Using “más… que, menos…que, and tan…como”

You can place an adjective OR a noun between “más/menos” and “que” or “tan” and “como”.

      a)      Más… que = More than

i.                     Más + adjective + que

                Yo soy más alto que tú = I am taller (more tall) than you.
                Ella es más alta que tú. = She is taller then you.
     (alta MUST agree with the person, therefore it is feminine)

ii.                   Mas + noun + que + noun

                   Me gusta más el futbol que el tenis. = I like soccer more than tennis.
                 
         iii.        Más + noun + que
                                   
                    Yo tengo más libros que tú. = I have more books than you.

i.                     Menos + adjective + que
